Things to do when you're having a bad day

We all have bad days. Some more than others, but everyone has them. Those days where even dropping something on the floor will have you bursting into tears. I've had my fair share of bad days, and obviously they don't last very long but I've come up with a list of things that will help you feel like it's not so bad after all.

1. Have a good old cry. I've found that crying will make me feel better, maybe even watch a sad film to set you off. It helps, trust me.

2. Eat all of the chocolate. Chocolate is actually scientifically proven to lift your mood, just don't think about the calories.

3. Nap if you can, I'm always napping and it makes me feel better and less stressed.

4. Have a long hot bubble bath with your favourite Lush bath bomb. You'll feel like a sparkly princess who can take on the world!

5. Cuddle your partner, you know they give the best hugs so why not make the most of it!

6. If you can't cuddle your partner/don't have one, cuddle your pet, apparently stroking your dog is likely to relieve stress and anxiety, and it makes the dog happy too.

7. Curl up on the sofa with the duvet and a nice hot chocolate, get snuggled up and enjoy the warmth.

8. Listen to some of your favourite music, I have a habit of screaming along to power ballads to let some of my emotions out and it works perfectly!

9. Rant on Twitter, because usually everyone on Twitter will give you a boost and make you feel loads better. Especially bloggers, because they're the nicest people ever!

10. Paint your nails. I love just sitting down and painting my nails, I find it so therapeutic.

If you’re having a bad day, just remember this feeling isn't permanent and you'll get through this! Now go cuddle your dog, get a cup of tea and watch videos of cats doing stupid things 'cause you got this!
